Any Ibis Ripmo 29er riders?
I bought an Ibis Ripmo 29er and wondered if there are any other Ripmo riders out there and if you've had to do any routine maintenance. Thanks.

Yes you will have to do routine maintenance that is normal with ANY BIKE! If you are not doing routine maintenance on your bikes you need to bring them to a shop and pay that shop what it is going to take to get them safe and rideable. Ibis makes fine bikes but even if they made the best bicycle in the world and you bought it, it would still need maintenance.
From basic stuff like cleaning and lubing the chain and keeping air in the tires (or suspension components) to replacing worn parts to regular suspension service (typically every 200 hours of riding or so) and beyond. Your local shop can handle most of it and there are specific suspension service folks who can handle fork and shock rebuilds for you if your shop cannot do it.

I realize that bike maintenance is needed and I have done it for this bike as well. I just posted this silly question, so I could reach my 10 posts to post a picture of one of my bikes.

This is such a fun place it pains me when people don't want to go really get involved. We are not that scary of a bunch and the ones that are, are generally pretty harmless
